Rookie forward Wes Johnson, battling back from a nagging hamstring injury, might have been at the top of Rambis’ list. Johnson, the No. 4 pick in the draft, displayed a smooth shooting touch, knocking down several outside shots within the framework of Rambis’ triangle offense.

“It felt really good to be out there competing,” Johnson said. “I hadn’t played in a game since July (rookie summer league in Las Vegas). I’m trying to learn this offense at a fast pace, but I’m getting it.”

Off to Europe: Wednesday’s scrimmage officially ended training camp. Players and coaches left Mankato immediately after the scrimmage to prepare for today’s flight to London.

The Wolves will play exhibition games next week as part of the NBA Europe series against the Los Angeles Lakers in London on Monday and against the New York Knicks in Paris on Thursday.

The team is scheduled to make a stopover in Portland, Maine, tonight, where it will have a short practice before continuing on to London.

Briefly: Rambis confirmed that Jonny Flynn, recovering from hip surgery, and former University of Minnesota forward John Thomas (hamstring) will not make the overseas trip. Thomas did not participate in the scrimmage; he has not practiced since Sunday.

Rambis indicated he likely would make cuts before the team departs, but he did not say how many players might be released. The Wolves had 18 players in camp.

The two biggest positives for a Timberwolves team that is 16-12 and in first place in the Northwest Division are Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler, two offseason additions who have delivered production and leadership.
